In the context of smart cities, technologies that are interconnected and related play a significant role in transferring, capturing, and transforming data into information that is meaningful for the purpose of building and strengthening urban infrastructure. Through communications infrastructure, massive amounts of data can be transferred from one end to the other with the assistance of high-speed fiber connectivity. It has a significant impact on autonomous drones for land surveying, surveillance systems for the prevention of crime, traffic management systems for the prevention of accidents or congestion, and smart buildings for the support of sustainable living.

Workplaces and commercial office buildings need more bandwidth and better connectivity as a result of IoT and cloud computing. Because it offers a secure and dependable connection between IoT devices, fiber optics are regarded as the ideal solution. In such locations, optical fiber components may be the most effective means of data transmission and management. For instance, optical fiber aids in the sensing and monitoring of large amounts of data in the oil and gas industry, such as asset locations, temperature, and oil reserve levels, among other applications. Because the data is transmitted through the fiber in the form of a light beam, it takes the place of bulky equipment, frees up space, lightens the material's weight, and saves money on logistics. Product automation, enhanced security parameters, and simplified data transmission are the outcomes of this.

Asia Pacific captures the highest share, whereas Europe is projected to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period. China has had the highest demand for optical fiber cables in recent years. Fiber has been installed in almost every telecom application in China, including intercity, intracity, and mobile cellular systems. The electric power grid, pipelines, highways, railways, airports, and data centers are just some of the applications for which the Chinese government and businesses are embracing fiber optic systems. In addition, China and other Asian nations are anticipated to see an increase in fiber demand in the coming years as a result of the development of 5G.
